Journey Through Puglia: Our Final Wine Dinner of 2026!

Featuring Masca Del Tacco Wines

Thursday, Nov 5th at 7PM


Masca del Tacco is a winery in the heart of Puglia, Italy, crafting wines that capture the spirit of the Salento region. Founded in 2010 by Felice Mergè, alongside his father Armando, the winery sits in a historic building that once housed a local growers’ cooperative dating back to 1949. The family restored the space with a blend of innovation and respect for tradition, keeping its rustic charm intact.


The winery is known for celebrating native Italian grapes that thrive in Puglia’s Mediterranean sun and mineral-rich soils, including bold Primitivo and the rare, elegant Susumaniello. Recognized at international competitions like the Berliner Wine Trophy and Mundus Vini, Masca del Tacco offers a taste of southern Italian heritage with a contemporary twist.
